The musical trio formed in early 2015 and is made up of MC God Knows, poet and wordsmith MuRli and DJ mynameisjOhn. Rusangano Family produce unique bass-led music thanks to their diverse backgrounds and life experiences. Despite their diverse backgrounds the trio are a family unit and explore issues such as identity and belonging through their music. The mixture of hip-hop, electronic and their honest yet edgy lyrics give the band a unique vibe. Their music can be described as socially engaging, as the trio incorporate global cultures and traditions into their work.
